Re: Why in God's name is there no post game thread? Pacers beat Knicks

New York has to hit about 10 3s at minimum and they need to do it about a 40% clip to win a basketball game. That's not happening 4 times in a series against us unless Paul George, Lance, Danny, and George Hill all end up defecting to Cuba

I don't think it will happen once. Pacers in 4 or 5.

Their only threat is MELO if he is not having a brilliant game they have no chance. Chandler can score all the points he wants, he only scores because we are shutting everyone else down and is the 5th option. When the 5th option gets the looks then your defense is working. This is the nba they are going to score points, the goal with the knicks is to make them work for it and not get their normal easy 3pt attempts.

Exactly. The easy 3 point attempts that the Knicks got early in the season were a result of Felton's penetration. If we're shutting down this penetration then they don't get clean 3 point looks.

If they don't get clean 3 point looks their offense is Melo isos (post or wings), JR isos, some rare PnR here and there and the occassional offensive board by Chandler.

PG can force Melo into a bad shooting night (he will get his but not on a good percentage), Chandler will not go off for 30 even though he will get his 12 or 14 points (especially when he doesn't go 11/11 from the FT line but kudos to him for today) and JR is not someone that is going to win you a playoff series by himself.

BTW... even more awesomely, most of that episode was shown on TV... I was wondering why the whole section was giving it to that guy!

Go figure, I forgot to DVR the game.

Didn't notice Frank arguing with another coach after Lance/JR too. Also, if Lance can keep his attitude, and keep his cool at the same time he could definitely have a Reggie/Starks kind of effect on some people I think.

Re: Why in God's name is there no post game thread? Pacers beat Knicks

The play that made my heart melt was in the second IIRC.. Felton was going for a layup and even though Felton was fouled there was 2-3 guys behind him and lance blocked the layup preventing a and 1. We were up 72-58 or something like that.

Re: Why in God's name is there no post game thread? Pacers beat Knicks

That's a fair point. We're not a great road team. HCA will be very, very important come playoff time.

I think we'll be good for most of the playoffs, but once we get to playing Miami, we'll have to win 1 or 2 on the road. We had game 4 in our hands but Wade went off in the 4th and we could not recover. We can beat any team in the league and I'm still by my preseason Finals prediction of Pacers-Clippers

The Knicks assistant waved his clipboard/notebook/trapper keeper - whatever the hell he was carrying - right in Frank's face and then jabbed his finger at him for good measure. Frank looked at him like he had lost his mind. Totally unprofessional. To Frank's credit, he barked a bit but didn't escalate things physically, and then turned to the referee that was right there. The ref probably said something to put the assistant in his place since you can clearly see Frank saying "thank you, thank you," emphatically to the ref.

I rewatched it (what I could see from the replay). Frank is a bad@ss.
